Cardinals starter Lance Lynn received more than enough run support as he earned his 15th win of the season Friday night against the Cubs. He allowed four hits and no walks while striking out nine over six scoreless innings of a 7-0 victory. With the win, the Cardinals clinched the NL Central title.
Lynn reached the 200-inning mark for the first time in his career. He finished the regular season 15-10 with a 3.97 ERA, a 1.31 WHIP and a 198:76 K:BB ratio over 201 2/3 innings.
